‘Sold their soul to the devil’: Republican in Congress hammers Christians and gun owners for allowing hateful Democrats to ‘lose’ America

By Joe Kovacs

A Republican member of Congress says America as we know it is on the verge of being lost because Democrats have “sold their soul to the devil,” and he’s blaming Christians and gun owners for allowing it to happen.

U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, appeared Saturday night on “The Big Weekend Show” on Fox News, and slammed citizens on the political right who choose not to vote in elections.

“The problem basically is, it’s on us!” Burchett said.

“When 12% of the population goes to the polls, 45% of so-called evangelical Christians don’t go to the polls, 30% of gun owners don’t go to the polls, we have 12% of the population deciding who is elected, who’s our judges, who’s in Congress. It’s a nightmare.

“Folks better wake up or we’re gonna lose our dadgum country. And this is not some conspiracy theory. This is a reality,” he continued.

“[Former President Ronald] Reagan talked about losing it in one generation. We could lose this country in one vote series. If the Democrats were to take over in the House and the Senate, it would be over for this country right now because they have sold their soul to the devil. They don’t care.
